Progressive Cornhole (click here to sign up)
Saturday, March 9th, 2024, 12pm at NCL
RSVP Opens 2/26/2024.  Please sign up.
 
Calling all cornhole players and any beginners. 
We are going to have a progressive cornhole tournament with the women and men being separate. That also depends on if we get enough of each to sign up and if not we’ll throw everyone together. This tournament will consist of different lots hosting. We will begin at the friendship hall in back at noon and will draw for lots and partners. After each game we’ll all go back to the friendship hall and redraw. This will happen after every game. We will all be using the bags and boards that are on the host lots. We are also looking for host lots and extra boards and bags. With that being said keep in mind that the lots have to be fairly level. I will also be checking out any boards and bag’s being donated for the tournament so as everything can be as fair as possible. Remember that this is a fun tournament for all beginners and good players. We will be charging $5 a person and depending on how many entries we get will depend on prize money. So let’s have fun this winter and enjoy being with all our friends in the park.

Based on the weather and available volunteers, we're going to break this project into smaller chunks.
     1. DONE:  The front sign: we have silver palmettos to place in front of the sign poles, add muhly grasses, flax lilly and blanket flowers
     2.  DONE:  The median strip:  removing some of the grasses and wind blown Ti plants, adding ginger, crotons, flax lily and blanket flowers
     3.  The Sylvester palm island between the gates:  installing a new memorial dwarf crepe myrtle, a Black Diamond Red Hot, adding fakahatchee grasses, the lillies and blanket flowers
     4.  Silverthorns on the north side of the exit - the long dead ones will be replaced by new ones which will fill in the holes in the shrubs
     5.  IN PROGRESS:  Wood chips: we have a pile of fresh wood chips which need to be spread under the south silverthorns to aid in water retention.
